Each year Illinois Main Street has a conference in a different Main Street community and this year HCED Executive Director, Sam Harnack, was able to join in to see what's happening with Main Street, learn from successful developers, and network to further Hancock County. This year's event was held in Batavia, IL and did not disappoint.
Sam joined her peers in learning about telling a community's story, micro business development, innovative funding sources, the role of downtown development in attracting young talent, and SO much more. The gala dinner even had a visit from Lt. Governor Juliana Stratton. The two day event was packed with information and ideas being shared and Sam can't wait for 2025 event!
